Old wedgewood oven in home...very low pilot light in oven...how do I adjust it?

If it works leave it, but really all work on Gas appliances should be done by a registered gas technician.

I thought my 1972 GE was old! You need to have it serviced by an elderly gas appliance technician. The pilot jets and thermocouples and hoods can be cleaned by you, but nothing else. It also needs testing for the gas pressure in your house, using an old liquid manometer and adjusting accordingly..

Use a long neck lighter. Place the flame under the oven's thermocouple, then turn the oven to "pilot" or "light" until the flame will stay on.
Once lit, turn to the desired temperature and enjoy. Make sure you have a fresh air supply such as a roof vent open, along with your hood fan running anytime you cook with gas indoors.

There's usually a small flat screw on the control or near the head of the pilot light. You turn it to change the size of the flame. Before you make and changes, make sure the pilot is clean, most of the time its partially clogged with ash, food etc. That will cause it to burn much smaller or keep going out. If you need to adjust it, do so with small steps.

There are small screws on the manifold that control the pilot fame. They could be accessed by removing the top panels or sometimes they can be accessed from the front , Some of the front panels snap off. remove the burner tops and trace the tubes back to the valve manifold and you should see a screw on a small valve. Turn these and the pilot lihght should go up or down.

Do you have manual for proper lighting procedure? Do top burners have good flame?

It sounds like the problem is either the safety valve (the reset button) or the oven thermostat (the assembly behind the oven temperature knob). Both parts can be rebuilt (if they are original parts) and replacement parts are still made for 1940's and 50's Wedgewoods.

go outside and see if there is a big red lock on your gas meter valve

maybe this might help you?

I'm not familiar with Garlands. When I run into a similar problem with other stoves of that vintage (Wedgewoods, etc.) I trace the pilot lines piece by piece, from the manifold to the pilot burner, if necessary opening a connection or two to see where I'm getting gas and where I'm not.

Is there a needle valve for adjusting the pilot flame? Is there gas getting all the way to the pilot burner? When it's the pilot burner itself that's the problem, I take it apart, brush/blow/shake out the crud, and run a small drill (#79 or so) through the orifice.
